Who had not enough riches to enter the gates.
So he took what he had, some plastic scraps,
And bent down in shelter to live with the rats.

Homemaking Tidbits

I've tried to make keeping house creative, concise and calm. It is a splendid way to spend one's time, and yet still have time to spend afterwards...
